Majors

Creative Writing: The writing major is an intensive workshop style course that focuses on fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction and playwriting. Throughout the summer, you will develop your craft, explore your individual writing voice, and plumb the depths of your own experience to create believable, multidimensional work.

Music: The music program offers training in both choral and instrumental music. Taught by professional faculty, the program offers a completely integrated musical environment stressing musicianship. Each week, BIMA musicians participate in individual and group warm-ups, theory classes by level, ensemble practice, individual practice, and faculty coaching.

Theater: BIMA offers promising actors an experience above and beyond traditional theater programs. As you refine your technique and develop your creative skills, you and your fellow actors will work closely with a talented faculty and guest artists to form an ensemble that creates original, collaborative, theatrical works.

Visual Arts: As a BIMA visual artist, you will join with your peers and the professional arts faculty to create a vibrant studio community in the Brandeis fine arts studios. You will be encouraged to experiment as you develop your technical and creative skills with guidance from exhibiting artists.
